Renewable Energy: Developing Countries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the report by Oxfam entitled Fast, Fair, Funded and Feminist: A pathway to a just and transformative climate transition within and beyond the UK, published on 10 March; and whether he plans to implement the recommendations on supporting lower-income countries in publicly funded energy transitions.
Answered by Kerry McCarthy
The government’s approach to this transition is built on the principle of fairness – ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to the transition and reap the benefits – and is core to the UK’s Clean Energy Superpower Mission. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver jobs, growth and prosperity.
